The yearly rankings of state education standings shows that states that allow in massive numbers of illegal aliens feel the effect directly in their education system. The 2005-2006 findings, a survey by Morgan Quitno Press, looks at hundreds of public school systems in all 50 states.
Out of the bottom five states, 4 of them have massive numbers of illegal aliens.
46. California
47. Nevada
48. New Mexico
49. Mississippi
50. Arizona
Of particular note is the decline of these 4 states over the past 4 years as they were flooded with the largest influx of illegal aliens ever. Illegal aliens now surpass legal immigrants.
| State | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 |
| Arizona | 44 | 45 | 48 | 50 |
| California | 29 | 44 | 43 | 46 |
| Nevada | 46 | 49 | 49 | 47 |
| New Mexico | 50 | 50 | 50 | 48 |
English as a second language, massive class sizes and increased costs of educating illegal aliens surely have had a huge impact on these rankings. For those of you who just love these "people just looking for a job", this just shows the devastating impact they are having on the educational system.
It is not worth destroying a whole generation of citizen's and legal immigrant's educational years simply to have lower cost produce or cheap dishwashers. It's time to crack down on illegal immigration.

And how does Digger know that there are masses of illegal immigrants in those states? Did he check IDs of all those people? Of course not. There are just a lot of spics in those states (right, Digger?) so he just assumes they're illegal.

It seems strange that people are putting up such a big fuss about illegal aliens crossing the border, but no one seems to care about all of the massive amounts of drugs coming over. I don't think opinions would change if they became legal residents they would just think of some other reason they shouldn't be here.

I am an intake counselor in the Human Services department for a large county in Nevada. In January, of the applicants I interviewed for receipt of social welfare benefits, 81% of them were undocumented aliens in this country seeking welfare benefits. Of that 81%, approximately 1/2 were trying to defraud the system by applying using their anchor children's social security number as their own.
SOMETHING needs to be done. We cannot afford this any longer!
